Democrats' midterm gains could sideline Electoral College by 2028

The Democrats' significant statehouse victories have positioned them to potentially replace the Electoral College with a national popular vote for the 2028 presidential election, without requiring a constitutional amendment. This shift could fundamentally alter the way the U.S. elects its president, ensuring that the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide could win the election, addressing the current system's flaws where a candidate can lose the popular vote but still win the presidency. This move could give Democrats a substantial advantage in future elections, reshaping the political landscape and the very essence of presidential elections in America.
